The redirect is configured at the Varnish layer, specifically in
text-frontend.inc.vcl.erb.
Basically, it redirects any user agents that contain 'mobi', 'android',
or
several other strings to the mobile interface. There used to be an
exemption for agents identified as tablets, but the exemption was removed.

Which I never asked about. Steven, you clearly

my question, but that's fine: you're not forced to reply.
So, to be even more specific, can someone from Mobile or Analytics say if
they'll be monitoring what effect, if any, this change («tablet redirect to
mobile interface») has on the metrics known as "active editor" and maybe
also "very active editor", "new contributor"?

Nemo,
Look at the dashboards for the mobile team. They include monitoring of
active editors (5+ content edits/month) and new active editors (5+ content
edits/month who registered recently) on mobile. They do not include very
active editors or Erik Zachte's 10+ edits metric (which we don't use much
in product analysis).
